Solution

The correct option is B Anterior
In the family Leguminosae, Calyx has 5 sepals that are fused, called gamosepalous. These are usually campanulate with unequal lobes. The odd sepal is anterior in position. It can be persistent in some species and it is inferior to the rest of the four sepals.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Anterior'
